Park life

Spring has sprung and you'd certainly know it from how packed the park was at the weekend. Everyone was out and about with their families and it was so nice to see so many people enjoying the great outdoors.

We needed a break from the house and wanted to take our pooch for a nice walk, so on Saturday morning, I headed to Asda to buy some snacks before we bundled up Ethan, Watson and ourselves for some park life fun.

I took Ethan to the park quite a lot last summer as I was on maternity leave and wanted to make the most of the nice weather and I'm keen that as he gets older, we do lots of nice things as a family. I used to love day trips out to the farm, to see a castle, to wander around a museum or go for a walk along the beach. I want Ethan to experience lots of new things and to grow up appreciating nature and the simple things in life.

It may only be small, but we visited a local country park and Ethan got to try something new - he went on the swings! He's never been on a swing before and I was so excited to see what he would make of it. Something tells me he enjoyed himself...

We had a lovely day, the three of us and the dog, enjoying the fresh air and some relaxing time together as a family. Something about a little sunshine and the people you love can really do you the power of good.
